Short-term apartment rentals in France are regulated by the 2014 ALUR law, which requires the registration of apartments with the town hall for short-term rentals. This has increased the popularity of rental housing in the country and reduced the number of scams.

How to Rent an Apartment for a Day in France

Our website features only verified hosts with a SIRET number and registration. Please note that to rent an apartment in France by the day, you must sign a bail mobilité contract for rentals of 1–10 months and a contrat de location saisonnière for shorter periods.

Critical points:

  • Documents. The landlord must have a DPE (energy performance certificate) and an ERP (notification of potential risks).
  • Local restrictions. In Paris, primary residences cannot be rented out for more than 120 days per year; in Nice's old town, there is a complete ban.
  • Deposit. To reserve a property, a deposit of 25% of the rental price is often required. It's important to discuss the terms of its return in advance.
